UAW, Chrysler contract could be in trouble

10:56 AM CDT on Monday, October 22, 2007

   FENTON, Mo. (AP) -- Autoworkers in St. Louis are expected to learn this week if their union will approve a new labor contract with Chrysler.

   United Auto Workers union members at two plants in Fenton rejected the contract during votes last week, making it uncertain if the contract will ultimately be approved.

   Members at locals in Missouri, Ohio and Delaware voted against the deal Friday and Saturday even as union leaders from Detroit spent the later part of the week lobbying for yes votes.

   Final totals from the 45,000 workers voting on the pact are expected to be tallied this week.
